What a year!!
The Building Excellent Schools Today (BEST) Board has recommended to the State Board of Education that the Julesburg School District's grant application to build a new $40 Million PK-12 School be awarded and funded by either cash or lease/purchase financing under the current $160M appropriation. With potential cuts to that appropriation proposed in the delayed legislative session, the Julesburg School District's new school project may move to being the first "backup" project if $30M or more is cut from the current $160M BEST Grant funding appropriation.
Our butterflies hatched in second grade! I will release them after a few days. This helped the students to study and understand life cycles!

Notice of Virtual School Board Meeting
Julesburg School District
Thursday, April 23rd @ 5:15 p.m.
Per the Governor’s Executive Order, suspending in-person learning in public and private schools across the state for the remainder of the current school year and to maintain compliance with the current stay at home order, The Julesburg Board of Education will be conducting a special meeting at 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, April 23rd. The meeting will be conducted entirely via videoconferencing. The public can attend the meeting telephonically and hear the discussion at the meeting by dialing (701) 802-5410 and entering Access Code 250173#.
Agenda:
Updates/discussion related to COVID-19
The seventh graders played a game on Kahoot! to practice their math skills of converting percent to decimal and vice versa.
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,
The Governor’s most recent Executive Order now requires all schools to remain closed to in-person learning for the remainder of the current school year. The Julesburg School District will continue to provide on-line learning and meals to our students through May 22nd of the current school year.
In conjunction with this Executive Order, all remaining in-person school and athletic events/activities are cancelled and all school facilities will remain closed through the remainder of the current school year.
At some point this summer, we are hopeful that we will be allowed to host an in-person traditional graduation ceremony to honor the Class of 2020 and resume other traditional summer time school and athletic related activities.
As you are aware, this is an ever changing situation and we will continue to communicate as state, local and health agencies keep us informed of new public health safety guidelines. Please do not hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or need further assistance with any other challenges you may facing as a result of this crisis.

Team Bonin from Domesti-PUPS spent the morning visiting students at the Julesburg High School.

Callie was even able to detect when the student or teacher needed a hug!
